A Nurse's Dilemma

I'm a 37-year-old nurse at the local hospital, and while I usually keep things professional, there’s this one patient... He came in after an accident that left him hospitalized for weeks. Over time, we started chatting more, getting to know each other better. The longer he stayed, the harder it was to separate my feelings from my duties. One day, when his family had gone home and he was alone in his room, I felt a strange pull towards him. We ended up sharing something intimate, knowing full well it wasn’t appropriate but feeling like there was no way we could stop ourselves. It’s been weeks since then, and while we’ve kept our relationship secret, the guilt of crossing that line with someone who can never be more than just a patient eats at me daily.
